Preface area (domestic environment) is likely to cause harmful interference, in which case the user will be required to correct the interference (take adequate measures) at their own expense. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Quanmax could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Preface each unit, by serial number(s), as well as a copy of the original invoice showing the date of purchase. To reduce risk of damage, returns of product must be in a Quanmax shipping container. If the original container has been lost or damaged, new shipping containers may be obtained from Quanmax Customer Service at a nominal cost. Quanmax owns all parts removed from repaired products.
Preface Environmental Factors Temperature The ambient temperature within an enclosure may be greater than room ambient temperature. Installation in an enclosure should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation is not compromised. Consideration should be given to the maximum rated ambient temperature. Overheating can cause a variety of problems, including premature aging and failure of chips or mechanical failure of devices.
Preface Surge Protector Surge protectors are available in a variety of types and usually provide a level of protection proportional with the cost of the device. Surge protectors prevent voltage spikes from entering a system through the AC power cord. Surge protectors, however, do not offer protection against brownouts, which occur when the voltage drops more than 20 percent below the normal AC line voltage level.

Chapter 2 Chapter 2 Assembly/Disassembly Accessing Internal Components WARNING Before opening your system, make sure to turn it off and disconnect the power sources to prevent electric shock or system damage. Follow the procedure described below to access the system's internal components 1. 2. Loosen the 3 flathead screws from rear side of the computer. Remove the chassis cover off the chassis base.
Chapter 2 See figure below for the locations of the internal components of the system.
Chapter 2 Processor Installation Processor Handling Carefully follow the steps below in order to prepare the CPU for installation: 1. Remove processor from packaging. 2. Handle the CPU by grasping the substrate edges only with thumb and forefinger. CAUTION DO NOT TOUCH PROCESSOR CONTACTS TO PREVENT DAMAGING THE CPU. Installing the CPU Carefully follow the steps below in order to install the CPU: 1. Check and confirm that you are installing the correct CPU type. 2.
Chapter 2 Figure 5 CPU alignment in Micro-FCPGA Socket (Socket P) 4. While gently holding the processor down with your finger, secure the processor in the socket with a screwdriver by turning the socket actuator to the closed position: Figure 6 Secure the processor in the socket Removing the CPU To remove the CPU, reverse the installation steps. 1. Before removing the CPU, turn off the system power and wait for about 20 minutes until the heat radiation plate of the cooling fan and the CPU cools down.
Chapter 2 Cooler Installation The system must not be operated without a cooler (heat sink and fan) to provide the necessarily cooling. Install the cooling unit supplied as follows: CAUTION Make sure that good thermal contact is made between the processor and heat sink. Insufficient contact or incorrect use of heat sink or thermal compound can cause the processor to overheat, which may crash the system or cause permanent damage to the CPU. 1. 2. Install the correct CPU as described above.
Chapter 2 Memory Module Installation Remove the chassis bottom cover Loosen one flathead screws and remove the chassis bottom cover. You’ll see the SO-DIMM socket of the motherboard. Carefully follow the steps below in order to install the DIMMs: 1. 2. 3. To avoid generating static electricity and damaging the SO-DIMM, ground yourself by touching a grounded metal surface or use a ground strap before you touch the SO-DIMM. Do not touch the connectors of the SO-DIMM.
Chapter 2 Figure 8 Press down on the SO-DIMM Memory Module to lock it in place Removing a DIMM To remove the SO-DIMM, use your fingers or a small screwdriver to carefully push away the tabs that secure either side of the SO-DIMM. Lift it out of the socket. NOTE Make sure you store the SO-DIMM in an anti-static bag. The socket must be populated with memory modules of the same size and manufacturer. HDD Installation Step 1 Loosen the 4 screws and take off the HDD brackets form the system.
Chapter 2 Wall & VESA Mounting Wall Mounting The QDSP-2030 comes with 2 L-brackets for wall mounting. Secure the L-brackets to the each side of the chassis using the total 4 screws. Figure 10 Secure the L-brackets for wall mounting Refer to figure below for wall mount holes spacing. The shape of the screw holes allows the QDSP-2030 to be mounted and provides for easy removal of the chassis for repair of maintenance. Use four standard M4 screws to mount the QDSP-2030.
Chapter 2 VESA Mounting The QDSP-2030 comes with an optional VESA FDMI 75/100 standard wall-mount kit which allows the QDSP-2030 to be mounted with a monitor on the wall. NOTE To fasten the metal shelf, your monitor must comply with VESA75 or VESA100 standard and we suggest the monitor size should not exceed 22 inches.
Chapter 2 Following the procedure described below for VESA mounting. Secure the wall-mount kit to the monitor using the 4 screws provided Slide the computer into wall-mount kit and secure it with the 4 screws provided Attach four M4 screws on the wall and hang the system on the screws. Figure 13 VESA Mounting WARNING Ensure that the wall structure is capable of supporting four times the total weight of mounted equipment. The total weight capacity of the wall-mount kit is 14kg.
